Greetings and salutations. I have been collecting comic books since 1984 and giving my business to…read moreComicmania since the end of 2016. In 2017, the owner's daughter took control of the business and I can honestly say that I am thrilled with the service I receive and the books I can get. Anytime I have a question, I always get immediate help, whether in person or by e-mail. I can talk with staff about anything and it is amazing service. I collect around 15 issues a month and I always get what I order. If there is a mistake (which has happened once or twice; people are human after all), it is quickly fixed. I can even get indy comics and off the wall stuff, though you may have to order it, but the store makes it easy. Really old back issues are a little harder to come by in the store, but you can get them as well as people will regularly sell their old comics to the store and the staff lets you sift through them. You can take your time looking at all the stuff. The store sells a lot of other things too, especially gaming stuff. I highly recommend this store. The management and staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and will go the distance to help you out. You can find the books you are looking for and maybe some other nifty things too.

My boyfriend bought some old Batman comics & got me my first set of D&D dies. We played Marvel vs Capcom in their arcade section and got to watch some folks play a Disney trading card game, as they have a couple tables for game play. The service from the man at the cashier area was excellent. He did a good job letting us know about future sales & giving more details about items we were looking at. We will definitely be back!

I could spend hours in here trying to go through it all. Prices vary. You can also bring items to sell to them! I was able to ask for help and the staff members were quick to help me find what I need.

I stopped in during a road trip when I saw that this 2nd and Charles location was close to…read moreInterstate 95. These stores are a nerd nirvana with used books, manga, comics, games, toys, vinyl and more. This store was clean and well-organized and the employees were helpful. I found some obscure tabletop RPGs including a Goblin Slayer RPG and an OSR adventure called The Seven Deadly Skills of Sir Amoral the Misbegotten. My favorite finds are cheap weird stuff from publishers I've never heard of. It looks like 2nd and Charles is adding clearance sections to many areas -- I found them in horror, mystery and science fiction -- and this is a welcome improvement. Going here was a nice morning break from driving that conveniently had a popular food truck in the parking lot selling coffee.

Small shop with limited parking that occupies the same building with several other businesses. We…read morewere not really sure what to expect at Cult Fiction Comics, but for a small shop it's very well stocked. Good selection of longboxes, some new pull books, along with a fair selection of dollar books on shelves. Pop selection was small but they had a nice amount of exclusives. Various toys and collectables including figures were spread around the shop. The owner was very helpful in searching for items and pleasant to chat with. Overall, this is one of the better small comic shops I've visited, and fully recommend it.

I decided to check out Cult Fiction Comics today and I am glad I did. This small but ample store…read morewas inviting and packed with comics. The owner was very friendly, helpful, and passionate about comics and his store. He was also hands-on with helping me find comics but encouraged the me dig and search at my own pace. I enjoyed looking through the long boxes and participating in the interesting and thoughtful conversations. The books were in great shape and the prices were exceptional--there was a sale on the back issues today and I took full advantage of this. Cult Fiction Comics has been officially added to my favorite shops.

I come in this store pretty often and will continue to support them after leaving this review. I…read morehaven't wanted to leave a review because I appreciate having a local game store and I love to shop local when I can. I came in today (Sunday) around 12:40pm and I get similar treatment every time I'm in there. I am a femme presenting person and they all treat me like I don't exist and usually leave the interaction with the cashier being made to feel stupid. I see them having full on conversations with people and then when I come up to purchase something, I'm treated like I don't know what I'm doing and not paid attention to, even when I am right in front of them checking out. And on multiple occasions have been met with a similar experience from the cashier. Today I found myself standing waiting to be rung up, while the employee at the counter attended solely to a patron going through a binder of mtg cards. I recognize a need for supervision and attention required for customers reviewing the card catalogue. However, my partner and I stood for some time waiting to be helped without so much of a check in to let us know if we need assistance or otherwise. In the future a quick "i'll be with you momentarily" could suffice. Additionally, once we are finally asked if we are checking out the cashier proceeds to split his attention between us and the customer with the binder. So much so that my partner and I spend unnecessary moments trying to make our purchase using Apple Pay when the machine needed to be reset. Ultimately, our dissatisfaction comes from a lack of consideration to all customers in the store. I recognize my purchases may not be as lucrative as those who play mtg or 40k. But I would hope my continued patronage would be worth some standard shared across the btg staff. This is not my experience every time but is certainly not the first. However, I do hope the next time I visit to be a more courteous one.

New Castle DE is very fortunate to have a selection of really great record shops (Goodboy Vinyl,…read moreJupiter Records and Squeezebox to name a few) and Rainbow Records is no exception. Here's the breakdown ATMOSPHERE & MISC: 5 out of 5 - Ample parking in the new location. New digs are clean, well lit, easy to get around given the relatively small overall space. Cool posters and wall art. Records are well organized and tidy. Always cool music being played. Restroom is accessible for longer deeper bin diving sessions. When weather is nice, can move some of their selection outdoors which is always nice as well. SELECTION: 4 out of 5 - This is a pretty small to average sized store so dont expect them to have some completely all-encompassing selection of obscure or super rare nitsch stuff like Amoeba or a Tower records or something, there's just only so much space in store and they gotta sell stuff. Fortunately, it's located in a college town so they're clientele is typically hip enough that they're able to stock plenty of high quality stuff. Bread and butter is definitely alt rock, hip hop and used rock and jazz but there's all sorts of goodies if you go looking for a little while (I usually find some great world music every time I go though it's not a large section). I'm guessing most people won't have trouble finding some good deals there, but clearly those looking for ultra rare stuff may be better off looking elsewhere. That being said, if you talk to the staff there and tell them what u want or are looking for, they'll more than happily order you anything that's available online and I've taken them up on this on numerous occasions and they've shipped to my house for a very good rate. COMMUNITY OUTREACH: 5 out of 5 - Being that records have competition these days, it's incumbent on a record store sometimes to need to fill a greater role in the community just to stay around. Rainbow is always organizing events, sales, and live music and Dj shows for all sorts of charitable local events. They're social media is updated every day with the latest releases and the owners like I said are very accessible with requests for records or whatever. They have a great Facebook community and "what's on your turntable group" as well as a Record Club you can sign up for via email that sends out all sorts of cool, rare, new releases and every month for a very fair price. They support and work together with all sorts of other record stores in the community and local artist merch and music is always in stock and easy to find. This is a store you want to support people! CUSTOMER SERVICE: 6 out of 5 - Saving the best for last. Todd and Melissa are simply put some of the nicest, hardest working and accommodating people you'll find anywhere. I've been shopping here for a while and I'm always impressed with the lengths they're willing to go to make the experience of buying records a more enjoyable one. We've all had at least one lousy experience with a snobby, less than helpful record store owner in our life, and while I can't recall very many if any at all in Delaware, Rainbow really does excel at not only being extremely helpful, but making you really feel a part of the family as soon as you step in the door. As I've alluded to above, they'll order anything you're looking for and won't charge anything additional at all really for it. Since COVID hit, theyve worn masks all day I've been there, and provide gloves and hand sanitizer and regularly disinfect they're surfaces. Besides all this, I've also either heard of or personally been involved in some instances of customer service and kindness on behalf of the staff that are really special. I happen to know that on at least one occasion, when the mail was really backed up early on during COVID, Todd drove records to a customer's house about 30 miles out of the way just to get it to them on time. Another time, i was playing a show down the street from rainbow and our guitarist broke a string and didn't have another set and I texted Melissa who was down the street and she showed up with another one within like 10 minutes. This just serves to illustrate the character of the people behind the scenes at this place. As I said above, these are the kind of small business owners it's an absolute honor to have in my community and a joy to support! Theyre everything a small business should be really (familial, accommodating, active in the community). If this was the worst record store in the world, I'd honesty keep coming back because they're such quality people. FINAL VERDICT: 5 out of 5 - The owners of Rainbow Records clearly are driven by a passion for music and strengthening their community however they're able, so if you want to start loving records or love them already, I can't think of anywhere better to recommend stopping into! ***UPDATE*** 30 minutes later: I still love Rainbow Records !!!!!
